"If you or your child has anxiety, ADHD, or depression, you probably feel frustrated and overwhelmed. You want the best for your self and your family and you may have reservations about using medications. You don't have to struggle alone anymore. I want to hear your experience and help you have more harmony in your life and in your home. While talk therapy can be supportive, some issues are brain based and need a different kind of guidance. Neurofeedback is a brain training program that supports you or your child in changing these patterns."

"I specialize in positive psychology oriented therapy with any age range as well as in providing academic assessments, diagnosing and treating children/teens. If you are wondering if a child is gifted, has ADHD, Autism, or an emotional MH diagnosis, I will utilize therapy and assessments to diagnose and create a treatment plan. Educational evaluations diagnose learning (and emotional) disorders, recommend IEP's, and explain how emotional problems affect learning and classroom behaviors.

"As I see it, the primary role of a counselor is to serve as a mirror to help reveal what the client hasn't yet been able to see-especially those patterns of relating to self, others, and the environment that might be causing suffering. At the same time, the counselor is there to reflect, affirm, and strengthen the client's unique gifts and talents.One of the biggest impediments to healing, growth, and creativity is shame. To help clients move through this debilitating emotion, I use a combination of mindfulness, body awareness, and other healing modalities."

"Life! It's perplexing and mysterious. Challenging and full of unexpected turns. Our fast-paced world presents us with demands that stress our coping abilities and make even the simplest of things seem overwhelming. But life can also be full of contentment and connection. When we acknowledge and explore what is upsetting, we have the potential to expand self-awareness and create a circle of compassion for ourselves and others. This leads to discovering our innate strength and resilience so that we are able to move forward, navigating choices that support the life we want to live."

"All children and families deserve support. I have learned that children learn and grow through experienced-based activity where they can express themselves in a safe, nurturing setting.

"I 'm quite hands-on: I dive in to help you find just the right strategy for you or your couple to get out of whatever is making you uncomfortable - making room for more choices.

I work with a lot of execs, IT geeks, college students, members of academia, creative types; individuals, couples and sometimes teenage kids. Together we find ways to increase serenity, lessen anxiety or rigidity; to find balance."

"People seek therapy for a variety of reasons. Life is challenging! These challenges beckon, often demand, our attention to change, self examination, and deeper understanding.

My practice is built on a holistic, client centered, problem solving approach in identifying, and effectively managing current life challenges and healing old wounds. Skillful, compassionate support for navigating your experience of achieving wellbeing and life satisfaction is available here."

"PHONE/SKYPE SESSIONS. Highly sensitive challenges, women in menopause/ peri-menopause, women/men in life changes, spirituals/multi dimensionals experiencing betrayals and heart hurt, preparation for human/animal passing over and experience after someone has passed.
